Surprised and delighted!
I’ll admit I was a little skeptical when downloading this app. I’m a Dr. Becky follower and am all-in on this mission, but the app felt like a short cut or not substantive enough to be helpful. Like so much of parenting, it’s a long game that takes consistent effort and time. However, recently, my son was melting down because of an unexpected and last minute change of plans and I felt out of practice and at a loss of what to do. In the moment, I just survived. But after, I opened the app and desperately typed into the chat bot: “What can I say to my DFK son in the moment to help him deal with unexpected change of plans?” The response was validating, thoughtful, on point, and practical. It felt like I was on a live chat with Dr. Becky herself. I followed up asking for suggestions for skill building outside the moment and again, the app gave me several actionable ideas along with follow material and references. I was so pleasantly surprised and have returned for more. It is such a well implemented use of AI. The intention and thought behind this app is clear.Worth it already
I’ve watched/read Dr. Becky for some years now, but because I limited my social media time, I wasn’t getting the Good Inside POV as often, or it would pop up algorithmically and not usually match my current needs (5.5 yr old and almost-3 yr old). Anyway, when I saw how expansive the app is, I decided to just go for the annual subscription: there are so many topics, some niche and therefore valuable when they fit our needs, and I love the breadth of content. The “poster”-like pages are so easy to digest, and then there are the articles and videos to flesh out topics and dive into. Knowing that kids grow and change and are unique, I don’t think I’ll regret paying for this kind of support.Phenomenal
First let me say, I’m a Christian, home schooling mother of 4, who struggles with anxiety and overwhelm. I believe it’s critical to direct my children to Christ and God’s written word as their source of peace, wisdom, and comfort. This app is absolutely wonderful in helping me to manage my own anxiety, and giving me bite sized morsels of wisdom and direction, which I can put into immediate action - daily! - Even throughout the day! The tools stay fresh, and help to over ride my own actions propensities! I feel so empowered. It’s literally like Christmas for me and my children throughout the day! The best part??? My three oldest (because the littlest is 8 months), have given me incredible, unsolicited feedback in their words and actions. My 11 year old has gone out of her way to thank me numerous times, just for saying, “I believe you,” and, “That does feel like a tricky situation. Tell me more!” Game changer!!! I can’t thank you and your team enough. God has blessed you with an incredible gift! So thankful we found you!
